The Los Angeles Dodgers transferred Scott Kazmir and Andrew Toles to the 60-day disabled list on Friday in corresponding moves to create room on the 40-man roster for Mike Freeman and Chris Heston, who were claimed off waivers from the Seattle Mariners.
Kazmir began the season on the 10-day DL and though there was some improvement from the hip and mechanical trouble that dogged him during Spring Training, a return never appeared imminent. Kazmir’s DL stint remains retroactive to March 30, meaning he’s technically eligible to return in the coming days.
However, the most recent update from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts came over three weeks ago when he said Kazmir was returning to Camelback Ranch to complete a throwing program.
